Jun 5, 2020 · It might be good for drinking, pleasant to swim in, but it’ll also kill you. Here are a list of films that saw tragic and untimely deaths at the watery hands of the Grim Reaper. Today, we look at 10 Horrific Drownings In Horror Films.
Oct 1, 2021 · From terrifying classics like The Thing, Alien, and The Exorcist, to recent chillers like The Babadook and Hereditary, these are the scenes that scared us halfway (maybe a little more) to death....
- Lawn Work '86 in Sinister. 2012's "Sinister" is filled with so many horrifying moments it's almost sacrilegious to choose just one, but the lawnmower scene is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the scariest moments ever put on screen.
- The Chestburster in Alien. What's left to analyze about John Hurt's death as Kane in Ridley Scott's 1979 gamechanger "Alien" — the Chestburster reveal is the pinnacle of science-fiction horror devastation (so prodigious it was spoofed by Mel Brooks in "Spaceballs").
- Just Hanging Out in Hereditary. Some of the most terrifying things are often sitting in plain sight. They lurk in dark corners, waiting to be noticed. But it isn't until your eyes adjust that you actually see it.
- I Saw Her Face in The Ring. A great jump scare doesn't take much in the way of gimmicks. Rather, it's reliant on an understanding of human behavior. Emotional cues can put people in a state of calm or panic depending on a million different factors.

It's still a little shocking that James Whale's Frankensteinwas able to get quite this explicit with the death of a little girl at the hands of the creature in this 1931 Universal horror classic. It's not nearly as graphic as the other death scenes on this list, but watching her flail in the water, and watching the aftermath, all the while knowing ...
Arguably the most-discussed and most-studied death scene in all of cinema, the first kill in Alfred Hitchcock's proto-slasher masterpiece still ranks as one of the greatest horror movie moments ever. We remember it because it shocked audiences by coming so early in the film, killing off the supposed protagonist, but also because of its extraordinar...
George A. Romero certainly got more gruesome with other death scenes in his film career, but never again did he make a move quite so chilling as the death of Ben at the end of Night of the Living Dead. After fighting to survive a horrific night of slaughter, our hero stepped out the front door of the farmhouse only to be shot in the head by a mob o...
The Wicker Man succeeds not through graphic violence, but through building a sense of tension that builds throughout the film, an overwhelming dread that's bound to culminate in something. Then, in the final minutes, you learn what that something is, as Sgt. Howie finds himself trapped inside the titular burning effigy. It's still brilliant, and st...
Leatherface does a lot of rough stuff to the unsuspecting kids in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but it never gets more disturbing than the moment he simply clubs poor Kirk in the head, then drags his trembling body down into his slaughterhouse. It's a hell of a tone-setter.
Black Christmasuses a POV camera to put us behind the eyes of its killer to great effect, and it's especially shocking in the moment when we see him viciously smother Clare in the attic of the sorority house with a plastic bag. It's memorable not just for the disturbing kill itself, but for the way in which Clare's body lingers, sitting the attic w...
Steven Spielberg famously obscured the shark for much of the runtime of Jaws, partly out of necessity as the mechanical beast kept breaking down. The minimalism still has an alarming effect, and nowhere is it more evident than in the opening scene, as a poor skinny dipping girl is dragged under the water by a thing we can't see, but can definitely ...
The Omenis interesting because its villain never kills with his own hands, and sometimes doesn't even seem aware that a kill is coming. Director Richard Donner orchestrates a series of elaborate "accidents" for the film's various death scenes, and while all of them are interesting, the most memorable is the moment when a poor photographer on the tr...
Dario Argento rose up out of the Italian giallo tradition with a knack for orchestrating elaborate death scenes via mysterious, shadowy killers. He's crafted a lot of memorable kills, but the first death in his masterpiece Suspiriais arguably the greatest. It begins with a dark shape outside a window, then escalates into operatic violence, culminat...
Before Michael Myers was a mask-wearing man walking through Haddonfield stabbing teenagers, he was a mask-wearing boy walking through Haddonfield stabbing teenagers. Every death in John Carpenter and Debra Hill's original classic is memorable, but the decision to start the film with a single Steadicam shot from the point-of-view of what's ultimatel...
